Ware, Repasky win titles for Falls at NOC Wrestling Tournament

Taking a look at the final standings from the Northeast Ohio Conference wrestling tournament, it might seem like Cuyahoga Falls had a horrible weekend.

Falls finished 11th in the 18-team field at NOCs with 82 points. Brunswick won the tournament with 160.5 points, claiming the NOC River Division title in the process. The tournament took place at Garfield Heights Feb. 1 and 2.

However, behind the numbers, Falls had some mitigating circumstances.

Injuries, disciplinary issues and other mishaps left coach Craig Wilson with only nine starters heading into the tournament.

Then, 160-pounder Austin Wilson tweaked his knee in his semifinal match with Twinsburg's Alex Keller. Coach Wilson erred on the side of caution and his nephew defaulted down to sixth place.

Given these handicaps, Falls actually had a decent tournament, according to Wilson.
